Chapter 407: Chapter 407

But now, if the person in charge of the ship changes, the situation will naturally be different.

What the action group doesn't know is that Wang Longhu is now in contact with the White Lotus Saint Emperor Li Qionghao of the White Lotus Society, and if he manages to forge a good relationship with Monk Yunlong.

Overseas will basically all be within Wang Longhu's controllable range.

"Well, well, that's good." Seeing the appearance of Monk Yunlong, Lin Zhengzong did not dare to say much and could only awkwardly reply.

Although Lin Zhengzong was older, he was still very self-aware.

On Japan Island, even if one is a member of the action group, so what?

Faced with experts like Wang Longhu and Monk Yunlong, if they become displeased, they could kill us in the blink of an eye, so there's no point in putting on airs anymore.

"Elder Lin, now that you have been released by the Heaven and Earth Alliance, you should quickly go home. Your safety is not in vain for me to have come to Japan Island specifically." Wang Longhu reminded.

Given the current situation, the Heaven and Earth Alliance's condition has stabilized, and they really have no need to stay on Japan Island anymore.

Wang Longhu hasn't forgotten that there are still current Heaven and Earth Alliance leaders and the White King Bai Yongge who haven't appeared yet.

Wang Longhu does not want them to appear then and capture Elder Lin and the others to threaten him.

Regarding the credibility of the Heaven and Earth Alliance leader, Wang Longhu now basically holds it at zero.

"Alright, we'll return to the country now." Lin Zhengzong promptly agreed.

After being imprisoned by the Heaven and Earth Alliance for so many days, they haven't wanted to stay in this place any longer—returning home is the safest option.

"You all, escort these guests away." Monk Yunlong ordered the Heaven and Earth Alliance members.

Now that the old alliance leader is dead, and the Heaven and Earth Alliance leader is nowhere to be found in retreat, Monk Yunlong naturally takes charge of everything.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance members dared not delay, quickly agreeing and then leading Lin Zhengzong and the others away.

Before leaving, Luo Qianqian kept looking back at Wang Longhu's figure with reluctant affection, as this man had saved her life again.

When everyone in the hall had left, leaving only Wang Longhu and Monk Yunlong, Wang Longhu finally couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"Elder Yunlong, may I ask what methods you used to kill those people earlier?"

"You mean this." Monk Yunlong raised a palm, and instantly, a white mist emerged from each of the acupoints on his arm.

This white mist was different from Inner Strength and Gang Qi; it was a substance that even ordinary people could see with the naked eye.

Wang Longhu couldn't help but be greatly shocked; this truly touched upon his blind spots in knowledge and was entirely a new realm of things.

"Elder Yunlong, what exactly is this?"

Monk Yunlong scratched his bald head: "I don't know what this is either, but if I have to describe it, I think this should be 'True Qi'."

Seeing Wang Longhu still looking puzzled, Monk Yunlong patiently began to recount his experiences.

In the eighth year of Qianlong, there was an unusually high-temperature weather in the Central Plains, with records of 'scorching heat in May' in Jinmen, 'unbearable heat' in Ji Province, 'many people perishing on the roads' in Jin Province, and 'many passersby dying of heat' in Lu Province.

And the areas around Zhejiang Province and Min Province were not much better.

At that time, Monk Yunlong was wandering around seeking alms, which was the polite way to put it.

To put it bluntly, he couldn't afford food and was begging everywhere.

After all, during the Qianlong Emperor's infrastructure boom, there were indeed a lot of people who had no food to eat.

It was during that time, when Monk Yunlong was nearly dying of heat on the road, that he encountered a Daoist who claimed to be a practitioner of the Dan Ding Sect of Qingcheng.

Seeing Monk Yunlong in distress, the Daoist provided him with water and food, but Monk Yunlong sensed that this person was definitely not simple.

"Let me tell you, I am an illiterate brute, but that Daoist was definitely not an ordinary entity; he seemed barely in his twenties, but he had an aura of age about him, making me feel like I was looking at my uncle. I am a half-baked fake monk; he is definitely a real Daoist."

Monk Yunlong confidently told Wang Longhu, who couldn't help becoming even more curious.

After seeing Daoist Sun Biyun at the Wudang Golden Summit, his understanding of Daoist alchemy deepened.

That group of Daoists surely has someone who knows how to achieve transcendence.

Monk Yunlong continued speaking, after consuming the Daoist's water and food, he took the initiative to formally request apprenticeship, pleading with the Daoist to accept him as a disciple.

But the Daoist merely shook his head with a wry smile, refusing Monk Yunlong's proposal of apprenticeship, but unable to resist Monk Yunlong's sincere persistence.

In the end, perhaps having no solution, the Daoist reluctantly conceded, though unable to accept a disciple, nonetheless imparting to Monk Yunlong a method of 'Qi Cultivation for Health'.

This method enables the practitioner to strengthen and nurture their body through unique breathing techniques, even allowing one to gain immense strength, and if mastered to a profound level, it can grant longevity.

And within that 'Qi Cultivation for Health' method, there was mention of something akin to Monk Yunlong's technique, True Qi.

True Qi refers to the subtle substance within the human body that accounts for life's existence; it is the basis for the functioning of the internal organs and physiological activities.

Blood flow generates True Qi, and True Qi propels the circulation of blood, energizing the human body.

Qi and blood mutually generate; True Qi is life's energy, also known as 'vital force'.

The Qi within the human body is specifically divided into Innate and Acquired. Follow current novels on novel~fire~net

The Qi one is born with is termed Innate Qi, whereas the Qi formed after birth, through the absorption of air by the lungs and circulated by the spleen and stomach, is Acquired Qi.
